Cretina, do you wish to sink a few more?

Feb 24th, 2015 - 06:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0When the Arg peso reaches parity with the bolivar they will make attractive bog paper... well they will be the only bog paper unless you are using the executive karzi and get to use the $100s.
Nice to see Rivero is back in favour....
I love the smell of desperation in the air.
Feb 24th, 2015 - 06:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Given the quality of Argentine money (remember when they left the 1 off of the 100 peso note?) they'll probably bugger this up too.
But no matter what they put on their currency it will NEVER disguise the fact that Argentina's economy is in the toilet, and it is finally beginning to dawn on the useless government that the money the Chinese promised was never going to come to them, only be paid directly to the Chinese companies that now have the monopoly to build all of Argentina's 'new' infrastructure.
So pretty pictures and a desperate attempt to divert the population (again) won't hide the fact that many Argentines are struggling to put food on the table. They don't give a crap about the mythical malvinas they only care about surviving.
But as others have said, it'll make pretty toilet paper.
Whats with the fat goofy horse? Looks like a 3rd grader drew that pic.

Gaucho Rivero led an Argentine uprising did he?
Feb 24th, 2015 - 07:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Cool....he murdered Matthew Brisbane, the designated representative and agent of Luis Vernet.
So by admission the Vernet community and it's representatives we're in fact British occupiers.
Right..good..so we are back to 50 crew of the Sarandi for 6 weeks in 1832 as Argentinas sole “claim”.
More misinformation about the sinking of the “Belgrano”. Very odd!
Feb 24th, 2015 - 07:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Both the Head of the Argentine Navy and the Captain of the vessel stated that the sinking of the “Belgrano” was a genuine act of war and, had the positions been reversed, then they would have acted in the same way!
It would make more sense if they issued a bill featuring the “roll over” destroyer and a graphic of a Villa Miseria. And, perhaps a slogan “Viveza Criolla por todos” or something? Perhaps Think could suggest something if he has emerged from his stupor this morning?

I wonder how much 50 Argentine pesos were worth in terms of real money (like the GBP) at 1844 hours UTC on 24 February 2015.
”The bill also shows albatrosses....'
That's apt, it symbolises the giant Falkland's albatross myth that is attached to the neck of the Argentine government and people.
It is quite apt, that just like their sovereignty claim, the bank note is utterly worthless.
Feb 24th, 2015 - 08:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0“ President of the Central Bank Alejandro Vanoli has said the decision to launch the new bill aims at “incorporating a new element of daily use to the inalienable sovereignty demand over the Malvinas Islands.“

Give it three months then ask the average person in the street there what picture is on the 50 peso note, - Those who get the answer correct will probably have had to think about it first.

Feb 24th, 2015 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0I suspect that the tactic of ramming the so called 'Malvinas' down the throats of the entire population- the signs on highways, the naming of every second street, suburb, park, school and lamp post as 'Malvinas' the mandatory stickers on buses, the naming of a class of minor warships that will never dock there, and now this- banknotes that are not legal tender on the very islands they depict-only serves as a constant reminder to ordinary argentines of both their government's misplaced priorities and it's utter and embarrassing failure in achieving them.
Feb 24th, 2015 - 10:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Another brilliant piece of lies cooked up by their corrupt leader. However CFK in her stupidity has once again opened an opportunity up for the world to see the Falklands as they are Very British and a far cry from the chaos currently ruling in Argentina. Chances are collectors will by these notes with a view to coming to the Islands and Boy what an eye opener they will get. Yes these little Islands are populated with a very large ENGLISH speaking people who one day will control the land Known as Argentina when CFK has finished destroying it.

Feb 24th, 2015 - 11:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0@9. No-one should forget that Rivero actually murdered FIVE people. And it was such a popular 'uprising' that he actually had the 'support' of two gauchos and five Charrua indians. All of whose names are known. Strange that, following the 'uprising', the population, mostly women and children, then fled to Peat Island, where they stayed for two months before being rescued by the sealer 'Hopeful'. Considering that Britain is referred to with the epithet 'pirates', I wonder why Rivero was taken all the way to London to be put on trial. Surely it would have been easier to just drop him overboard. Isn't that what 'pirates' do? Then he couldn't be tried because the legal system didn't permit it. So he and his fellow murderers had to be shipped all the way back to Rio where they were released. More opportunities to drop the lot of them overboard missed!
Feb 24th, 2015 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0@10. One correction, if you don't mind. Replace 'genuine' with 'lawful'. After all, argieland had been informed on 23 April, via the Swiss Embassy in Buenos Aires, that the British could and would do anything necessary anywhere.
@19. Seven months, not five.
@24. Wouldn't it be fun if there were enough 'rebels' to go around altering all the notices you've mentioned to 'Falkland Islands'?
@25. I do so hope you are making a correct prophesy. It would be absolutely magical if latinos could spend the rest of their worthless lives being treated the way they treat the Amerindians.
@29. Why? There's no good reason to allow argies to enjoy anything. I wonder if there's a law somewhere that makes it illegal to depict another country on currency? Maybe time for some responsible nation to get resolutions passed by the UN making it illegal for things like genocide, war crimes and illicit territorial claims to be depicted.
Funny. In the real world you commemorate victories.

Feb 24th, 2015 - 03:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Falklands, Gibraltar, Channel islands: (Jersey, Guensey etc) Pounds are directly transferable at a 1:1 with the British Pound.
Unlike most? or even all? South American countries the British pound is exchangeable at one rate to a currency. With various currencies being more or less valuable.
This needing Blue, Black, Grey “whatever” exchange rates for your own currency is totally unheard of in the civilized world.
That is because more or less, our economy work.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE A HOMAGE, NOT NISMAN.
Feb 24th, 2015 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's obvious that i will always agree on this kind of homages to our soldiers, in the same way i have always known perfectly that we won't never recover what the ex british empire stole us, i also know that there will always be many people who will keep on being happy believing that only our side omits information before the u. n., about the malvinas-falkland cause. It doesn't sorprise because it's well known that there have always been ignorant or hypocrite people. As far as i'm concerned, i explained in planty of opportunities in mercopress what both sides omit.
However this time i wanted to say all this, because in the actual argentine political context, where some cretins make a homage for somebody who doesn't deserve it, i think it's necesary to remind who are those people who really deserve to be honoured.
On the other hand, i wanted to say that if the islanders decided to forgive thatcher for having ignored the warns, repecting the cuts that she decided to do for the defence of the south atlantic, or for having sent nicholas readley to the islands and to buenos aires in 1980, in order to find a solution for the conflict, or for having retired the british nationality for many people from the islands, i accept it, in fact, forgiviness is something absolutly respectable, but what i won't never do, is to buy the hypocritical vertion which says that thatcher decided to go to a war, because she wanted the right to self determination for the islanders to be respected, although many people don't accept it, all the facts i described show the contrary, perhaps they haven't realized yt that she just used this cause, to save her misserable government, as galtieir did.
I know that some people will start insulting me after reading this, as they sometimes do, but i think that the day the stop being so mediocre, they will realize that they don't need to insult anybody to defend their ideas.

When the former Spanish Empire collapsed, a bunch of South Americans started claiming independence (forgetting that they, and not the Spanish were the real colonisers) but hey-ho. Argentines became Argentina, Uruguayans became Uruguay, Paraguay...you get the gist.
However, the Falkland Islanders (the Spanish on the islands) became.....well mostly Spanish as they returned to Spain...and the others became Uruguayan...not a single solitary one became Argentine.
So...no inheritance...NONE.
Luis Vernet...well according to you President, GauchomRivero murdered his deputy and appointed agent in act of defiance against the British...thus concluding that the Vernet community was British.
So, the only Argentines ever on the islands, representing the Argentine government was the crew of the Sarandi...who murdered their captain and raped his wife...six weeks after arrival the British expelled them.
THESE ARE FACTS.
As far as Mrs. thatchers motives Axel, you do make me laugh.....your country invades e territory of mine..and you DARE to question our motives for kicking you out....you cheeky twat. Our motive was you invasion...your sly, nasty, cowardly invasion...

Feb 24th, 2015 - 07:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Axel,
What you fail to understand is the psyche of the British people.
When the invasion took place, most people in the UK had no idea where the Falklands were. When newsreel footage came through of the Royal Marines being humiliated by their captors and the happy cheering crowds in the Plaza de Mayo, the mood turned to quiet fury.
There was NO way that any government was going to survive without taking military action.
We empathise with underdogs. Basically what we wanted was to get down there and kick the crap out of the Argentine forces....which we did...and restore the islanders freedom.
The risks were formidable and success was not guaranteed but we still took it on.
Thatcher could not have done anything else.
You are mixing what YOU , an Argentine citizen feels his govt. would have done in our place. We don't think the same way as you do.

Feb 24th, 2015 - 08:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Axel- I can only emphasize what Clyde said at 58 - your military and you just have no grasp of what the British always regard as sacrosanct principles.
In the 20th and 21st centuries you do not just go in and nick somebody elses homeland and expect to get away with it-especially if those people are British or have a defence treaty with Britain.
You might have possibly got away with it - as the Foreign Office in London was wringing its hands and telling Mrs Thatcher nothing could be done -but then your overballsized military went and made British Royal Marines lie face down in the street and took pics of themselves standing over them with rifles
and published them!!!!!!
That was very very stupid! It got right up the nostrils of probably 99% of the British Population - If Mrs Thatcher had not then responded to the advice from her senior Navy Officer - she would have been out of power within a week. As would any other Primeminister and Govt.
What she did had 0% to do with politics opinion ratings - it was the only response any British Govt would do.
Well, now we know the value Argentina actually puts on the “Malvinas”.

Go to any reputable (that means non-Argentine) currency converter and they will show you that the Falklands pound and the Great British pound share parity with each other.
To make it easy for you to understand that means they are worth exactly the same as each other. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't make it untrue.
As for 'nobody would give a shite for the currency' outside of the Falklands, well you are wrong on that count too. On numerous occasions I have been given coins from several British Overseas territories in my change. And you know what, it doesn't matter because they have the same value and are legal tender.
That means, unlike your worthless Argentine peso, you can exchange them for goods and services.
So the Falklands currency is actually worth something and the Argentine peso is worthless.
Is that why you are so angry? Desperate to get your hands on some proper currency like GBP, FKP or USD instead of the cheap toilet paper your government tells you is money?
This whole thing is a distraction to keep the sheep from noticing the huge devaluation happening daily. Anyone following the peso can see it heading in one direction quickly.

Feb 25th, 2015 - 12:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0“So, the only Argentines ever on the islands, representing the Argentine government was the crew of the Sarandi.”
Unless what I have read is not factual, most of the sailors manning the Sarandi were British nationals/mercenaries, who weren't for some reason keen to resist Onslow's crew (I wonder why????). So whilst some of the Sarandi's crew represented Argentina, most of them weren't keen to and in practice, didn't.
A bit like if Onslow's force was made up of mostly Argentine mercenaries and the captain scratching his head as to why they would not fight Argentines when they got down South.
No brainer, except for an Argentine.

The only thing funnier is to see penguin-cedron express his parochialism and obvious inexperience of international travel.
Modern people don't wander around the capital cities of Europe with wads of their local currency, hoping to find a good exchange-rate in some back-street 'casa de cambio'. That is what the the illegal African immigrants do, and probably get massively exploited in the process.
Everybody in the 1st world uses debit/credit cards for normal transactions, at zero charge normally.
In London payments of less than £20 can be made by the 'contactless' payment system. Does Argentina have this yet?
It is only when I am in Vnzla that I have to pay by cash.
If paying with US$ I can get a massive discount.
Even when I can pay by card it is hard to trust people not to copy your bank-details and try to exploit you.

Feb 26th, 2015 - 12:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“A joke bank-note for a joke economy.!”
This money was actually made for an Argentine 'Mythical Malvinas' board game based on Monopoly where the objective is to get into as much debt as possible without paying any money back.
Also by throwing a six, all the Argentines ships submarines and aircraft miraculously work and also by throwing a good number with the dice, the RIC can be removed and the Typhoons T45s and Astute submarines (etc etc) can be disabled at an instant, thus allowing the 'Malvinas moment of eternal Argentine victory.'
Sadly, the money for the board game found its way to the Argentine mint and got printed where as Simon 68 points out it can be usefully deployed to buy “About 280 grammes of pastrami!!!!”
So assuming pastrami tastes nice, this money is of some use.

MY ANSWER.
Feb 28th, 2015 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I understand the humilliation that many people in britain must have felt when they saw in the newspapers that their soldiers lied threatened on the floor, but i really don't buy the explanation which says that thatcher decided to go to a war, because she wanted to save the honour of a nation, humilliated by a criminal dictatorship. Anyway i can also understand that in some way she had no other choice, because the invation of 1982 shows that her policy towards the islands was too bad. If the islanders are honest, they won't omit that before the war, even thatcher's governmnet was very hostil with them.
I have said in planty of opportunities that if she was so interested in recovering the islands for britain, she could have achieved without going to a war, in fact she could have sent a humanitarian mission to the archiplago, in order to protect the islanders from possible violations to their human rights, and at the same time, she could start to negotiate a solution with arg., as it had been recommended in many resolutions by the u. n., however, if she had taken that decision, perhaps it wouldn't have been good for her in electoral terms, anyway, she wasn't going to be neather the firts, nor the last misserable politician who was able to do anything to save a government, even a war.
Sorry guys, but these are the reasons why i don't buy your romantic explanation.
On the other hand, in my next comment i'll talk about some historical aspects of this conflict, because some people insist on believing that only our sides makes a too partial lecture, that's why they prefer buying the official history, and insult all those who are detractros.

MY ANSWER PART II.
Feb 28th, 2015 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I recognize that i didn't express my self correctly in my comment 179, what i wanted to say, is that thatcher could have sent a military and humanitarian mission to protect the islanders from possible violations to their human rights, and at the same time, she could start to negotiate a solution with arg., as it had been recommended by the u. n.in many resolutions, in fact i have said the same in many other of my comments.
Read my comment 41, and you'll know some more about the decisions of thatcher's government before 1982.
On the other hand, if somebody asks me whether britain had sovereign rights over the islands in 1833, i would say yes, because in the nootka sound treaty of 1799, there was a secret article which let britain set up a settement, if a third power did the same. In the case of argentina, it had exercised a permanent controll over the soledad island (actual east falkland), and in virtue of the sucession of states, it had sovereign rights unless over that island. If the u. k. had sovereign rights too, it could have found a negotiated solution with the united provinces, or perhaps both countries could have shared the sovereignty, however the u. k. decided to deprive our country of exercising it's rights in 1833.
Some people argue that the u. k. had more rights because it discovered the islands, which is actually something too controvertial, but even if it was true, according to public int. right, discovery just gives a precarious tittle, which must be improved with a permanent occupation, and the u. k. only occupied permanently port egmont for 8 years, and it didn't occupy permanently the archipelago again untill 1833. The fact that some countries that joined the viceroalty decided to separate part from it, it's something irrelevant, because if they decided to be independent nations, they have no rights over the islands, we didn't didn't decide to leave the malvinas, we were forced to do it. In my next comment, i'll say much more.

MY ANSWER, PART III.
Feb 28th, 2015 - 06:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If some people don't agree on my opinion, when i say that thatcher could have sent a militar and humanitarian mission to the islands, i respect it, but what bothers me, is when i read some comments of people who say that she decided to go to a war, because she wanted the right to self determination for the islanders to be respected, although some people don't accept it, all the facts i described in my comment 41, show the contrary, beside, even the junta was disposed to accept the proposal of the three flags, or to share the soveregnty with the u. k.
I really think it would be honest to recognize that a negotiated solution wasn't going to be good for her in electoral terms, that's why she decided to go to a war, because only a militar victory would save such misserable and reactionary government, and that's the reason why she ordered to sink the belgrano, which perhaps wasn't a war crime, but it was a clear signal to show that no negotiated solution was possible. Although her monetary policies diminished inflation level, they provoked a large number of unemployment. If some people don't agree on my opinion, i respect it, but i won't buy the romantic explanation of many of them.
Back to history, it's not true that out claim was permanent, in fact there were long periods where arg. didn't claim for the islands, however it would be honest to recognize that since the half of XIX century untill 1950, arg. had a huge economic dependence with the u. k., in fact, the empire handled most our economy, then we were not in conditions for claiming, but even despite that fact, the u. k. tried to find a negotiated solution with arg. in 1968, 1974 and 1980. Beside, arg. suggested taking the case to an arbitration in 1884 and 1888, and the u. k. rejected it, britain only made a unilateral presentation in 1947, but just for the georgias. All these facts show that the case has strong and weak aspects for both countries, and it would honest to recognize it.

Mar 02nd, 2015 - 06:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Firstly, your idea around how Britain should have acted in 1982 is laughable. There is not a single iota of blame to be passed on to Britain, not an iota. It was 100% the fault of Argentina, and YOU in trying to deflect some blame and not taking responsibility, now SHARE that fault. The blood of the 1000 dead is on YOUR hands...and you are trampling on their corpses with YOUR attempts to blame others. SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR THE DEAD and take responsibility you foul excuse for a human.
That's better.
Now succession of states....WRONG
Agentina is not the successor state to the Viceroyalty or the UP.
Firstly there is no acceptance in international law of “successor states” and secondly as you point out there are multiple successor states of the Viceroyalty...Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia...and indeed the Falklands.
The people of Argentina (not today's Argentina of course, this was before your genocidal stroll through Patagonia) chose to be Argentine, the people of Uruguay chose to be Uruguayan, ditto Bolivia, ditto Paraguay....the people of the Falklands for the most part chose to return to Spain or become Uruguayan in Uruguay....NOT ARGENTINE...none of them.
So where you correctly state that some areas of the Viceroyaly “chose” to split...as did the Falklands. Had the Spanish garrison remained, and these people chose to be Argentine, you point would be valid....they didn't..they chose to leave...
So as of 1811 the islands were empty. Your own President destroys the myth of Vernet being an Argentine governor by celebrating the murder of his deputy.
So that leaves the crew of the Sarandi.
Arrived in 1832, 50 of them, mutineed, murdered their Captain in front of his wife, then raped her in front of their children.
They were indeed evicted in 1833..6 weeks after arrival.
This has been explained to you many times Axel...but your pathetic grasping nature fails to see it.

@190 Axel
Mar 03rd, 2015 - 10:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0“and that's the reason why she ordered to sink the belgrano”
The Belgrano was sunk because Sandy Woodward sent a message to HMS Conqueror to attack the Belgrano which was not within his remit. The signal was intercepted in UK and it was realised that there was a severe threat to the task force, otherwise Woodward would not have disobeyed his orders-HMS Conqueror was controlled from the UK.
Therefore to prevent the task force being attacked, the order to attack Belgrano was given.
The task force was threatened by a pincer movement from the 25th de Mayo to the North and the Belgrano to the South.
On 23rd April 1982, the Junta were warned that any Argentine forces, anywhere, deemed to threaten the British task force would be liable to attack, a warning Galteiri treated as a joke. That warning was issued a week before Belgrano was attacked, enough time for the Belgrano to get to port.
If Thatcher was desperate to propagate a war without trying diplomacy perhaps you can explain why in April, permission was denied to Woodward to shoot down Argentine Boeing 707 reconnaissance aircraft, shadowing the British fleet.
Also, in April a British submarine established contact with the 25th de Mayo and requested permission to sink the carrier.
Thatcher refused that permission.
Britain was within it's rights to bomb any Argentine airfield from which aircraft were attacking the British forces, but the war was limited to the islands, by Thatcher.
The fact is, the sinking of the Belgrano was the responsibility of the Argentine military who ordered the ship to be close enough to the task force to cause concern.
The Belgrano would not have been attacked had it stayed well away from the Brits, so the responsibility for the dead sailors lies with Galteiri/Anaya, not with Thatcher.

Mar 03rd, 2015 - 11:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Belgrano incident has been explained time and time again from records and statements of the people involved. Even by Hector Bonzo, the Captain who said
. I think we posed a real threat... we never had any intention of going back to shore; we were only waiting for the right moment to act.“
However you still prefer YOUR made up account of the events because your whole case depends on this.
Would you care to comment on the attack by an Argentine air force C-130 on an unarmed non British tanker off the coast of Brazil in international waters ?
This happened before the task force was near the Falklands and when ”peace“ negotiations were taking place . Also Argentine special forces were planning to attack RN ships in Gibraltar AGAIN while negotiations were taking place.
Did this show ”good faith“ on the Argentine side and a desire for a
”peaceful settlement”?
You have a selective memory when it comes to the Belgrano because you attribute the cowardly actions and dealings of your government to a higher plain than ours. This accounts for your twisting of the facts to suit the scenario that makes the war totally the fault of the UK...not the aggresor Argentina.
So now you lot have been told,
